New Betta! ❤

I went to my LFS today with my grandpa to see if they had a couple items cheaper then other places. I also wanted to see if they had any dumbo ear female betta fish, as I've been quite interested in these fish. Well...
I came home with no items even though they had one of them. I came home with no dumbo ear betta, nor a female betta.
I came home with a pretty new baby boy.

He doesn't have a name yet, but I'll take suggestions. I'm excited to learn his personality. So far, he seems quite a bit less hyper then Owen, but maybe that will change as he gets more comfortable. He's a lot smaller then Owen as well.

I hope to get him a bigger tank by the end of the week, if my plans work out. He's currently in a 2.5 gallon with no filter or heater. I am getting a 5 gallon with filter and heater.

He has a bit of a blue fluorescence that will probably come out more when I have that tank with lights on the hood. I'm quite pleased with this impulse buy.

It's probably just because I'm a worrywort with my wet pets, but I am worried I messed up somehow and he will die. :l I sincerely hope not.

He just ate a pellet. The second one I put in was too big, as I forgot his mouth is much smaller than Owen's and he will need the pellets cut in half. That first one he attacked it as it was floating down. It was really cute.

I feel like we've made progress already. He doesn't shy away when I come up like he was earlier. He seems to be settling into his new tank, which is drastically different then the one he was in previously (he was one of three betta at my LFS not in a cup, he was in a still too small tank). His previous home had bright gravel and bright, colorful fake plants. This one has black substrate, and real plants. Plus here there isn't so much activity around him.
